Description
Summary:This is a collection of nineteen essays on the prophetic literature of the Hebrew Bible, many published before but some appearing here for the first time. They are grouped in five sections: on the books of Isaiah, Jeremiah, Ezekiel, the Twelve, and Apocalyptic literature, rightly seen as the offspring of prophecy. They are all marked by a conviction that it is no longer sufficient to concentrate solely, or even mainly, on the historical context of the original prophet and the separation of his ‘authentic’ words from later, editorial ‘glosses’. More recent study has concentrated on the final redactional form of the books and the setting and purpose of those who produced them.
